"As for sex, the hypocrisy of her outing her pregnant daughter in front of millions of people, hard on the heels of her concealing her own pregnancy (her faith in abstinence applying, apparently, only to non-Palins), is nicely balanced by her hypocrisy in gushing with loving support of her teenage daughter after using a line-item veto to cut funding for a transitional home for teenage mothers in Alaska"

Geeez Wendy, the only reason she let it out about Bristol being pregnant is that a bunch of NUT Jobs started a stupid rumor about Trig being Bristols child. She increased funding for teenage mothers 175%, I wish you guys would get your DNC talking points up to date! Yes she believes in abstinence, no she is not opposed to teenager learing about condom's! I am sure I can safely say she does not support teaching kids about sex before they can read though.

"Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman. The Republican party's cynical calculation that because she has a womb and makes lots and lots of babies (and drives them to school! wow!) she speaks for the women of America, and will capture their hearts and their votes, has driven thousands of real women to take to their computers in outrage. She does not speak for women; she has no sympathy for the problems of other women, particularly working class women. "

Her greatest achievment is that she is more like my wife, my mother and many of the women I work with then you probably are. Is there a communist cap on how many children she can have? She is the average American woman and most of them identify themselves more to her than you. I hear the women in the break rooms and on the office floors all talking about how she is like them! Get out of your college and visit fly over country, you will be more alien than Sarah!

One of the biggest bimbos in Hollywood opened her mouth in an intelligent an intellectual debate of politics. The bimbo Canuck who barely graduated Highland Secondary school. Showed that she can hold an educated debate with a reporter. The funny thing is that these idiots in Hollywood do not realize that every time they interject themselves into politics it tends to piss off the average American in fly over country (thats middle america Pam!).

Sarah and Todd Palin's decision to complete her recent pregnancy, despite advance notice that their baby Trig had Down syndrome, is hailed by many in the pro-life movement as walking the walk as well as talking the talk. But a senior Canadian doctor is now expressing concerns that such a prominent public role model as the governor of Alaska and potential vice president of the United States completing a Down syndrome pregnancy may prompt other women to make the same decision against abortion because of that genetic abnormality. And thereby reduce the number of abortions.

"What the $%#$! Is there a quota on abortions in Canada! Hey any Canucks out there! IS THERE AN ABORTION QUOTA IN CANADA, EHH! What kind of absurd statement is this! "

Published reports in Canada say about 9 out of 10 women given a diagnosis of Down syndrome choose to terminate the pregnancy through abortion.Dr. Andre Lalonde, executive vice president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Ottawa, worries that Palin's now renowned decision may cause abortions in Canada to decline as other women there and elsewhere opt to follow suit.

"I thought it was their decision to begin with! I guess Canadian are a bit monkey see monkey do!" It sounds more to me that there is a lot of worry about decreased business rather than a sound medical decision"

He says not every woman is prepared to deal with the consequences of Down babies, who have developmental delays, some physical difficulties and often a shortened lifespan. Lalonde says his primary concern is that women have the choice of abortion and that greater public awareness of women making choices like Palin to complete a pregnancy and give birth to their genetically-abnormal baby could be detrimental and confusing to the women and their families. "Ohh, so now they are too stupid to handle a special needs child."

"The worry is that this will have an implication for abortion issues in Canada," Lalonde tells the Globe and Mail. In her widely-viewed acceptance speech to the Republican National Convention and a TV audience of some 37 million last week, Palin did not refer to her baby's birth as a decision or choice. "In April," she said, "my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. "From the inside, no family ever seems typical. That's how it is with us. Our family has the same ups and downs as any other, the same challenges and the same joys. "Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge. And children with special needs inspire a special love. "To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House."

Others in Canada, which has just begun its own national parliamentary election campaign, see the Palins as positive parental role models who could help reduce the tide of Down syndrome abortions. Krista Flint is executive director of the Canadian Down Syndrome Society, which says its goal is to foster "a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity, worth and equal rights for ALL people." The society now displays a photograph of the happy Palins with their baby on its homepage and offers to provide "positive and factual information" for an open discussion of Down syndrome.

This photo was taken at a local bar (watering hole) in Wasilla, AK. It was apparent when they asked about GOVERNOR PALIN and everyone knew who they were not only by their smell but no one in Alaska calls her Governor

From PoliticoS.C. Dem chair: Palin primary qualification is she hasn’t had an abortion. South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate ” whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

Palin is an opponent of abortion rights and gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, earlier this year after finding out during her pregnancy that the baby had Down syndrome.Fowler told my colleague Alex Burns in an interview that the selection of an opponent of abortion rights would not boost McCain among many women. “Among Democratic women and even among independent women, I don’t think it helped him,” she said. Told of McCain’s boost in the new ABC/Washington Post among white women following the Palin pick, Fowler said: “Just anecdotally, I believe that those white women are Republican women anyway.”

She has never had an abortion and thus has never been indoctrinated into the Feminist Against Truth- better know as FAT! You know every election I used to buy into the crap! They are going to take away your rights, they will raise taxes on the poor. Blahh, Blaa, Blahh. I guess being a liberal used to be easy because I thought you did not have to say no to anything.

There is change a coming. Have you seen this! The ObamaChange Ring. Well, It was easy to guess that the self proclaimed one now has a symbol. Wonder how that will work. We no longer have to show his name but rather our symbol. Wonder how that will work out. Hmmmm, Hey Prince, tell us how that worked for you?

Now, I realize that the goal was to create a charm or pocket adornment that was made from the Greek letter Delta (Δ), the physical symbol for "Change." However, all I can see when I look at it is a giant representation of one of Obama's massive ears. But maybe that is ok since it will let us know that our new deity is always listening to our needs. With that said I have to publish a few things found in the book of Invesco

5And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain and stepped into the floodlights where they had built for Him a temple, and His disciples gathered around Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:6"Blessed are the poor,For theirs is the kingdom of State expropriated wealth.7Blessed are the jobless,For the taxpayers shall be their keepers.8Blessed are those who lost their homes,For they shall inherit a bailout.9Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Change™,For they shall be filled with a great taxpayer-funded feast.10Blessed are all who have grievances, For they shall be compensated through civil rights lawsuits.11Blessed are the peace protesters,For theirs is the Progressive World of Next Tuesday™.12Blessed are those one illness away from disaster,For they shall obtain free health care.

deet, deet, deet, da, deet, Hot off the Hollywood press Matt Damon, whom I believe is Barbara Streisands special needs child along with his brothers George Clooney and Ben Afleck. Hey Matt, when will you learn that we could really care less about your politics and just get back on stage. This Hollywood reporter wants to puke but here is what Matt Said between his double, low fat organic Mocha Latte:

"We cannot afford the possibility of an Alaska hockey mom with no experience having to face down Vladimir Putin, which is why we must elect an Illinois suburban dad with no experience who’ll definitely and immediately have to face him down."

Hey Matt, do you remember what Obama said? Who had the weak response? Who said maybe both side are to blame. But hey growing up in Cambridge I can understand! Hey I hear your agent calling. Go do something you are good at! Acting in Movies!

I got this in a email from a friend and if anyone know's where it comes from please let me know so that I can give them the credit that is due!

1. Yes, she is Governor of Alaska. No, she's not the Lieutenant Governor. No, she's not currently Mayor of Wasilla. Yes, she was Mayor of Wasilla, some years ago.2. Yes, as Governor of Alaska, she's the Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard. And yes, her professional military subordinate is quite impressed with her in that role.3. And yes, the New York Times says the job of Governor of Alaska is one of the harder, and more powerful, jobs in state government.4. Yes, there are people in Alaska who think she's too liberal.5. Yes, she did giggle when someone called Lyda Green a "bitch." Yes, Lyda Green is a cancer survivor. Yes, it was the same Lyda Green who tried to force a scheduling conflict that would make Palin miss her son's high school graduation. Yes, this would also be the Lyda Green who complained no one had asked her about Palin during the vetting process.6. Yes, she did push for and approve the Wasilla Sports Center. Yes, it did cost a lot of money. (People keep saying $20 million, that article says $14.5 million, but then they also added a $1.2 million dollar food service/kitchen piece. This year, after Palin was out of office as Mayor.) Yes, the city went into debt to do it (how did you buy your house, bunkie?) and raised the city sales tax from 2 percent to 2.5 percent to pay for it. Yes, the city is paying it off early. Yes, there is an ongoing dispute about title (following a struggle with the Nature Conservancy and another buyer. And yes, at the time it was built, Wasilla had a Federal judge's decision that they had title to the land.7. Yes, she did want authority to have wolves culled from the air, because they were taking too many moose and caribou. Which people hunt for food in the back country in Alaska. No, she isn't shooting them herself. I mean, not that she couldn't, but I'm sure she doesn't have time. (Thanks to bluemerlin in the comments.)8. No, the Downs baby (Trig) isn't Bristol's kid, and no, the kid wasn't born with Downs because (a) Palin flew on an airplane (b) went home to have the baby after an amniotic leak (c) because he was the result of incest between Todd Palin and Bristol.9. No, Track (the kid who is leaving for Iraq) didn't join the NG because he was a drug addict. He may have joined the NG because he was tired of people saying his Mom was getting him into the good hockey leagues. (Yes, that one was original reporting. I've got sources in Wasilla.)

10. No, Willow and Piper aren't named for witches on TV. Among other things, Willow was born before Buffy came on TV, and Piper was born before Charmed.

11. Yes, Trig's name may be misspelled. Isn't it usually "Tryg" as in "Trygve"? In any case, I doubt he's named for the Secretary General of the UN (1948-1952), either. But at least that was before he was born, unlike the others.12. Yes, it appears that she has a Big Dipper tattooed on her ankle. She lost a bet.No, she's never been in any porn as far as anyone can find (and God knows I get enough google hits on those very topics.) I would think the Big Dipper tattoo would be a giveaway.13. No, no one seems to be able to even find swimsuit pictures of her from her beauty queen days; God knows I looked. The bikini pictures that are around are photoshopped, just like the Vogue cover I have up.

14. No she wasn't a member of the (wild-eyed libertarian) Alaska independence Party, although her husband once was No, neither the (Canadian) National Post, nor Marc Armbinder at the Atlantic have troubled themselves to issue a correction. Yes, the New York Times did finally correct their story of September 1 — on September 5. And on page 14. This was after Elizabeth Bumiller was quoted by Howard Kurtz as saying she was "completely confident about the story." Yes, that was after the New York Times's source retracted the story. Yes, this should embarrass the Times, Bumiller, and Howard Kurtz. No, there have been no signs of embarrassment.

15. No, she was never a Pat Buchanan supporter; even when Buchanan claims she was, she was on the board of Steve Forbes'a campaign in Alaska. Yes, Palin was a Steve Forbes supporter in 2000.

16. No, she's not anti-semitic. In fact, she has an Israeli flag in her office. (Contrary to popular belief, the usual Evangelical thinks Israel has a right to exist, granted by God.)17. No, I don't think she's being "indoctrinated by Lieberman and AIPAC as we speak"; I don't get the feeling that being indoctrinated is something that Palin does well.

18. Yes, it seems unlikely that she's going to be in hiding for the next two weeks seeing as she's been in rallies twice in the last two days. Or at least it's going to be real rough, given that she has three media interviews scheduled today (6 September) alone.19 Yes, it does appear that Palin's local pastor preached about an end time when God will judge everyone, even Wasilla, Alaska, and the United States. Duh. This is called the Book of Revelations, and while I don't believe it personally, I don't see it as a disqualifier for the hundred million or so Baptists, Methodists, Evangelicals, Episcopalians, Catholics, Assembly of God, Presbyterian, Lutherans (traditional and Missouri Synod), African Methodist, and so on Christians in the US.

20. Yes, I do sometimes wonder about the state of Andrew's health.No, she's doesn't believe that the Iraq War was directed by God. Yes, she did pray that proceeding with the war was God's will: "they should pray 'that our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God, that's what we have to make sure we are praying for, that there is a plan, and that plan is God's plan.'" (Ever hear the phrase "Not my will, but Thine, be done"?) Yes, this apparently freaks some people right out.

21. No, Buchanan doesn't support her now; in fact he's supporting Obama. (Buchanan did think her speech was amazing, but then so do 80 percent of the people who saw it.) Or maybe not. Buchanan sure doesn't like McCain though.22. Yes, she was apparently pregnant when she got married23. No, so far there's no confirmation she had an affair while she was married, and they've denied it pretty strongly. No, she wouldn't be the first Christian woman who got a little on the side, if it were true.

24. No, she wasn't named as a co-respondent in a divorce; there's no evidence she had an affair with her husbands' business partner. The partner tried to have his divorce records sealed because he was being harrassed by journalists who used them to get his phone number.

25. Yes, barring immaculate conception virgin birth (whatever), Bristol appears to have had sex with her fiancee. No, Bristol didn't receive only "abstinence-only" sex ed.26.Yes, I have it on reliable report that Sarah Levi's mom has been heard screaming "Way to go Levi!" at her future son-in-law son. No, it doesn't appear to have been when Bristol broke the news to her family Note: I originally understood this story to be about Sarah, not Levi's mom, in the context of hockey games. As such, it's shouldn't be in a Sarah Palin Rumors story, but I like the story too much to delete it.

27. Yes, her 17 year old daughter is pregnant; no, the baby's father is not an eighth grader; no, having sex at 16 is not statutory rape in Alaska. And no, there's no way that a 17 year old can be 5 months pregnant as a result of having sex before she was 16. Learn to count for God's sakes.28. Yes, she did fire the public safety guy — but he said in the Anchorage paper that, for the record, she never, and no one else in her administration ever, tried to make him fire her ex-brother-in-law29. And yes, the state trooper (her sister's ex-husband) she was worried about did: tase her 10 year old nephew; drive his state patrol car while drinking or drunk; did threaten to "bring her down"; and did threaten to murder her father and sister if they dared to get an attorney to help with the divorce.30. Yes, the state trooper was suspended when he was put under a court protective order.No, the trooper wasn't fired31. Yes, she did fire the Wasilla Chief of Police as Mayor; yes, it was because he was lying to the City Council.32. Yes, she did try to cut her own salary as Mayor by $4000 a year; yes, she had voted against the $4000 a year raise while on the City Council.33. No, she didn't cut funding for unwed mothers; yes, she did increase it by "only" 354 percent instead of 454 percent, as part of a multi-year capital expenditures program. No, the Washington Post doesn't appear to have corrected their story. Even after this was pointed out in the comments on the story.34. No, she didn't cut special needs student funding; yes, she did raise it by "only" 175 percent.35. Yes, she did try, clearly unsuccessfully, to get Bristol married off to her fiancee before the story came out36. Yes, she did ask the librarian if some books could be withdrawn because of being offensive; no, they couldn't; yes, it was "rhetorical", at least as was reported contemporaneously in 1996[1] ; yes she did threaten to fire the librarian a month later; no, that wasn't over the books thing but instead over administrative issues; no, the librarian wasn't fired either; yes, the librarian was a big supporter of one of her political opponents; yes, the librarian was also the girlfriend of the Chief of police mentioned above; no, this is not the first time in the history of civilization that someone has been threatened with being fired over a political dispute37. No the list of books she wanted to ban that's being passed around isn't real; among other things, it includes a number of books published after her time in office there.No, that hasn't actually deterred people from claiming it really is true even if the list isn't correct. For example:"This list might not in fact reflect the books Sarah Palin wanted banned. As more than one person in Comments has pointed out, some of them were not published when Palin was in office. It is my hope that the mainstream media will not let this story drop and that at some point an actual list will surface. The very thought of having someone who once advocated book-banning possibly occupying one of the highest offices of our land fills me with profound dread. It should fill you with dread too."38. No, I don't understand why a fake list is supposed to fill me with dread, either.no, it wasn't won't be [bad tense, hasn't happened yet] a shotgun wedding; Bristol and Levi been engaged for a good while according to Levi's mother. It was either an accident or just an unconventional order.39. Yes, she's an was an Assembly of God Holy Roller. No, she doesn't attend an AoG church now. Yes, she did leave the AoG because they were getting too weird for her.No, she's not anti-Mormon. No, not all AoG churches are anti-Mormon. (AoG is even more hard-core about allowing each pastor and congregation to make their own decisions than the Baptists are.) (Thanks to AnonAmom in the comments.)

40 No, she's not from another planet. No, I haven't actually heard that one yet, but you wait. Okay, I have now heard it.

41. Yes, she apparently believes in some variant of Intelligent Design42. No, she didn't try to force the schools to teach it; she said if someone brought it up, it was an appropriate subject for debate.43. No, she doesn't believe in "abstinence only" education. Yes, she thinks abstinence is an effective way of preventing pregnancy. Duh. Yes, she believes kids should learn about condom use in schools.44. Yes, she did smoke marijuana, when it was legal in Alaska. Yes, she apparently did inhale.45. Yes, she kills animals and eats them, and wears their skins46. Yes, she was a beauty contest contestant47. Yes, she was once a sportscaster48. Yes, she has a college degree in Journalism, but I won't hold that against her, as she seems to have found honest work as well.49 Yes, she sometimes wears her hair up; no that's not a "beehive"50. Yes, her husband is Not A White Person (he's a Yup'ik; an Eskimo but not an Inuit as my Inuit cousins have taken some pains to explain)51. Yes, she has on occasion, as Mayor, tried to get money from the federal government.yes, she did finally turn down the money for the bridge. Yes, that meant changing her mind about it.52. Yes, she was vetted extensively, not just in three days — I've got links to press reports about people coming to Wassila on 29 May.53. Yes, she went to a bunch of colleges before getting a degree. No, that's not illegal. Yes, she seems to have made something of herself anyway.54. No, they didn't talk to a lot of the R's power structure during the vetting; that probably has to do with the fact that she beat them in elections and sent a bunch of them to jail.55. Yes, Sarah Palin's acceptance speech was written by a speechwriter. Duh. No, none of Obama's, McCain's, nor Biden's speeches were impromptu off the cuff things either.56. Yes, she did put the Governors plane on eBay. No, that's not how it was finally sold. Yes, McCain did say it wrong. Bad McCain.57. No, Sarah Palin doesn't have such control of Alaskans that people are afraid to say bad things about her. (What, are you nuts? Look at this list.)58. No, I don't think it's likely that she called Obama "Sambo". (Good God, man, I'm ten years older than she and I barely remember "Little Black Sambo.") Yes, it seems unlikely to me that she's be real racist and marry a Yup'ik (or a part Yup'ik.) But yes, people are capable of amazing things. Yes, I'm sure there are people who don't like her — I've talked with some myself. And no, I don't think this waitress would have been thrilled to be called an "aboriginal". And yes, if she called Hillary a "bitch", I'm pretty confident is wasn't the first time anyone in politics has said that.59. No, she's not a "global warming denier", and when the crush dies down remind me to explain why the very phrasing "global warming denier" is anti-scientific, anti-intellectual, and a clear sign of a desire to impose your beliefs by coercion. But in the mean time, while I do believe that she has expressed some skepticism that warming is wholly human-caused, the existence of the Alaska Climate Change Sub-Cabinet and the Alaska Climate Change Strategy work demonstrate that she's considering the problem and has brought together people more expert than she to advise her.60. Yes, Todd Palin did have a DUI. Twenty-two years ago. Get a grip.61. No, Sarah Palin's brother isn't in jail. No matter what the commenter at Anderson Cooper's page says. (Thanks to Galynn in comments.)62. Yes, Sarah Palin's pastor apparently does believe that gays can "repent" and be cured of homosexuality. No, believe it or not, even fundamentalist Christians don't have to believe every litle thing their pastor believes. Yes, Palin seems to be more libertarian about this.63. Yes, contrary to press reports, Sarah Palin's mother-in-law plans to vote for her and the R ticket (on Inside Edition this evening.)64. No, the fact that some 17 year old was arrested for malicious mischief at the right time doens't mean Track Palin was. Goddamn, Josh, have you no shame at all?
